An unidentified elderly woman was listed in critical condition Thursday after she was struck by a car while crossing the street Wednesday.

The woman, described as having brownish gray hair and wearing an iridescent blue raincoat and white flip-flop sandals, was crossing U.S. 1 shortly before 6 p.m. Wednesday when she was hit by a 1999 Ford Ranger.

The driver, Donald Arnold Davis, 40, of North Palm Beach, was heading north on U.S. 1 approaching Park Avenue. He did not stop for a red light, said Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies. The front of Davis' truck hit the woman, whose fingernails were painted with metallic sky blue polish and toenails were painted with light green polish. She was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach.

Deputies are asking for anyone with information to call investigator Shannon Pedersen at 561-688-3725.
